What is the best time to post your content on social media?

There is a lot of discussion ongoing how often should we publish a content on social media. But the answer on the best timing of your posts is not clear either. Of course, it depends on your audience, their everyday life habits, when they are online, but there is a proven standard of best and worst timing to publish your content on social media. This was researched by Social Caffeine. Here are the main facts:

Facebook: On Facebook, traffic starts building after 9am but posting should work the best between 1pm to 4pm. Peak time is on Wednesday at 3pm. Traffic should be worst after 4pm and you should avoid posting anything on weekends.

Twitter: Engagement should be best between 1pm and 3pm from Mondays to Thursdays on Twitter. Traffic gets higher from 11am on and vanishes at 3pm. You should forget tweeting on Fridays afternoon.

LinkedIn: On the other hand, LinkedIn has its peak time before and after business hours. Not many people pay attention to LinkedIn during middays. Peak days are Tuesdays to Thursdays. Try to avoid posting on Mondays and Fridays.

Google+: The best timing should be during working hours, best between 9am – 11am. Traffic fades in late afternoon and on weekends.

Pinterest: This is a bit different type of social media, therefore, peak time is on Saturday mornings. During working days, traffic increases after 12pm and best posting time is between 2pm and 4pm. Avoid sharing your content after 5pm.
